Franz Jagerstatter DVD

An Austrian farmer and father of four, Franz Jäggerstätter had to make a terrible choice: to serve in Hitlers army or to face execution. A devout Catholic and loving husband and father, Franz struggled with his responsibilities to his family and to state authority, but in the end felt he could not betray God and his faith by serving the Third Reich. He was executed on August 9, 1943, at the age of 36. In 2007 he was beatified by Pope Benedict XVI.
